By far my favorite phone I've ever owned. Seriously, I couldn't possibly list all of my favorite features without it being more helpful to just link back to the product overview.

The Google Pixel 6 has some great features, like a sleek design, excellent camera quality, and smooth performance thanks to the Tensor chip. The display was vibrant and sharp initially, and I loved the clean Android experience with unique Pixel features like Live Translate and the helpful Google Assistant. However, after about 1 year, the screen stopped working entirely, which was incredibly frustrating for a device at this price point. While customer service was helpful in addressing the issue, it’s disappointing to experience such a major flaw so soon. Battery life and overall performance were good while it lasted, but reliability is a key factor, and this problem dampened my overall experience.

This turned out to be the best phone I have used so far. It should have been a five star product for me but for one little gripe. I got tired of the tons of bloatware on the Samsung platform which is what I have used mostly. Having multiple apps for the same task because I am unable to uninstall the samsung version. If you are a minimalist and want a phone that is free of bloat, is very responsive and intuitive, I really dont believe you can beat the value of this phone. It is plain vanilla android, just the way google intended android to be. It is also priced to perfection in my opinion. My only gripe is the fingerprint scanner which I feel is underwhelming. I am not sure if it will be improved by a software update but I have quite a few failed attempts each day. For the price, and the added five years of support for this device, this is a no brainer to me. Fast, responsive and well priced. Flagship.

I really love pixels but this device was the 3 one I had to return doe to poor quality control. My screen had blotchy green tints all over the screen very unhappy with that. Also call quality was so very choppy and it kept cutting in and out maybe because it isn't using a Qualcomm network Chip Same thing happened to apple years back when they tried to do away with Qualcomm.

If Android is your preference, you should get a Pixel phone. Software updates are regular and supported for at least a few years. You get the latest security updates and features from Google directly. This phone has an amazing screen, a striking design, and (for me) the best camera in a smart phone. The Sorta Seafood color looks great - I ended up with a clear case because I like to see the color. The camera housing is large, but not noticeable or bothersome in daily use. It has the advantage of sitting stable when you set it down, no rocking back and forth. On the software side, I love the call screening feature and ability to automatically avoid spam calls. Also, notifications on Android are really good, actionable, and provide a lot of info in a small space. Android 12 has user friendly customization options - setting your accent color from the wallpaper is really cool and reflected across most of the operating system. The screen is so good. The OLED of course has great contrast, colors are bright, and this is a big screen. Also, grab the Pixel buds if you need a wireless ear bud. They work great, look nice, and have amazing sound. The problem I have (why I'm giving it 4 stars) - this is a big and heavy phone, and right now there isn't a smaller or lighter Pixel option. Perhaps a Pixel 6A coming in the future would be lighter. This is defiantly a two handed phone for most people.
